A foreign act: Serbia will revisit the law on foreign agents

The country's government has allowed early parliamentary elections, but sees no need for them

The protest action of students taking place on this day involves the blocking of key points in Belgrade. According to the plan announced by the organizers, the culmination of the action should begin at 17:00 local time (19:00 Moscow time) on the square in front of the Serbian Parliament.

On March 8, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Vulin said that the West was using the protests of students and opposition figures in Serbia to further push Belgrade and Moscow. According to him, the ongoing protests have no social background, it is "not a movement for a fairer or more successful society."

The reason for the start of anti-government protests by students and the opposition since November 2024 was the death of 15 people as a result of the collapse of the canopy of the railway station in Novi Sad. After the tragedy, Serbian Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic resigned.
